\n

Shafts with herringbone gearing (double helical gearing) are essential for numerous high-performance applications<\/strong>. Their special geometry ensures high load capacity, low wear and minimal vibrations<\/strong>. By using state-of-the-art ultrashort pulse lasers, these shafts can be manufactured with unprecedented precision and efficiency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether in turbo compressors, X-ray machines or industrial high-performance gearboxes<\/strong> – herringbone shafts are used wherever precise power transmission and low axial loads are required. Their gearing optimizes running and reduces wear to a minimum. High-performance gear shafts in particular benefit from the double helical structure<\/strong>, as they can handle high speeds and high loads with ease.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

These shafts can be operated in both lubricated and oil-free applications. They benefit from their low-maintenance and durable design, particularly in sensitive areas such as medical technology or food industry<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each of these shafts usually requires an axial bearing in order to distribute forces optimally and further optimize operation. These bearings are specially adapted to the respective requirements. Herringbone shafts can be manufactured from a variety of materials, such as stainless steel, titanium, molybdenum, SiC<\/strong> and other high-strength steels<\/strong> and special alloys<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
